Meals Before Bedtime.

IT is a common impression, says
medical authority, that to take
food Immediately before going to
bed and to sleep, is unwlse. Such
a suggestion is answered by a re-
hinder that the instinct of animals
prompts them to sleep as soon as
they lave eaten; andin summer an
after dinner Hap, especially When
that meal is taken at midday, is Il
luxury indnlged in My many.-
Neither darkness nor season of the
year alters the conditions. If the
ordinary hour of the evening meal
is six or seven o'clock and Of the
first morning meal seven or eight
O'Clock, an interval of twelve hours
or more elapses without food, and
for persons whose nutrition is at
fault this is altogether too long a
period TO-. lasting. 1t explains
many j restless night, and much OF
head and back ache, and tile IAN
guild half-rested condition OH rising
which is accompanied by no appe-
title for breakfast. This meal itself
often dissipateS these sensations.
Ii is, therefore, desirable, il not es-
sential, when nulriment is to be
crowded, that the last thing before
going to bed should be the taking
of food. Sleeplessuess is often
caused by st;lrvation,a and II tumbler
of milk, if drunk in the middle of
the night, will often put people to
sleep. Food before rising is an
equally important eXpedient. 1t
supplies strength for bathIng and
dressing, laborious and wearisome
tasks for the underfcd, and is Il
better "pic-me up" than any hack
neyetl "tonic."

How a Female Physician Got Ahead
of n Practical Joker.

Recently a young physician OF
the Harvard Medical School con-
ceived the idea of playinga oke on
Miss Annie Copeland, one of the
lady students Of the College Phys
icians and Surgeons, and at the
same timc rubbing outan old score
he had laid up against her. His
plans were carefully mapped out,
and, everything being in readiness,
the lady WAS called upon to attend
case of fracture of the leg. Some
what astonished, she promptly
answered the summons Of suffer
ing humanity, confident i'll her
ability to sustain the dignity of
the profession sue had adopted
On arriving at the residence indi-
Gated. she was surprised to find her
patient to be u man about forty
years Old, apparently suffering the
most excruciating pains. Moving
the covering, she discovered the
fracture to he that of a wooden
lcg. Nothing daunted, and without
showing any evidence OF her dis
covery, she quietly replaced the
covering, said she must go for
some Splints and bandages, and
would return Immediately. She
did so, bringing with her some
small pieces OF brass and brads,
with which she at once proceeded
to repair the fractured limb. The
surgical operation was performed
in a remarkably short space of
time, and the injury left to the
healing process of nature. She
quietly gave the necessary drec-
tionS, informed the man that he
would be all right in day Or two,
and that her bill was So5. 1t is
scarcely necessary to say that the
fee was not forthcoming, the mat
ter being treated as a good joke
Next morning, however, Miss Cope.
land appeared on the scene with a
constable, and much to tile cha
grinof the son of Esculapius,co collect
ed her fee. 1t would seem that, if
the young graduates Of Harvard
Medical School wish to get ahead
Of the lady students OF the College
of Physicians and Surgeons, they
will have to rise very early, and
use more brass than Miss Copeland
did in reducing the fracture OF the
wooden leg.-Boston Herald.

The Elements Of Gentility.

A man may be q gentleman in
appearance, in manner or In feel
ing, or in all three. 1.-The fultills eli
Their condition he has title to the
name. Ii he fulfills all of them he
will be so fine a creature that the
name can do him no good, and if
his right to it is questioned it will
not disturb him.
Appearance is largely matter
Of attire, which is to be bought for
money; but it depends, too, upon
the taste, which is much mole diff
fcult to purchase, and upon natural
gifts, which cannot be bought.
Good manners are either dis
guise or they are the outward evil
dence ola good disposition. They
may be acquired, but it is not easy
to buy them, though their absence
is readily pardoned in persons who
are very rich, very good, intelli-
gent or eminently powerful from
any CAUSE.
A man who has the feelings of a
gentleman is usually born with
them. To him they are instincts
by which he will regulate his be-
havior in circumstances where nei
ther his experience or his reason
eau guide him. But they may be
acquired most readily by asSocia
ting with persons who already pos
sess them &nd they are fostered by
decent living.
A gentleman will have, first OF
all, self respect. He will fear self.
condemnation more than anything
else, except, perhaps, for a differ
enU reason-self praise.
And, as he respects himself as a
man and exacts decent treatment
of himself, so will he also respect
other men, and use them accord
lngly.

Begin at Home.

A sloycnly carpenter was he nd
at a weekly prayer meeting to pray
with great fervcncy for the spread
of Christ's cause-a cause which he
lisgraced and hindered in his
sphere every time he stood at his
work bench. When he ended his
-prayey hearty 'amcn!' came from
a servant who put her mistress ont
of temper a hundred times u day
by her careleSsneSS.
A clerk al. o was there, who, al
though he taught q class in the
mission school on Sunday, was al.
ways late at his employers store
on week days. He whispered 'amcn,'
too, and meantit so far as he know
himself.
A lady nearer, as she listened,
resolved to join the church mission
airy society, and then went home
and found unreasonable fault with
her cook. And others also felt
warming to dosomething for Christ,
who never seemed to have thought
that religion, like charity, begins at
home. The mechanic, who Is pow.
erful IN class meeting, and weak at
his trade is no credit to the profes-
sion he makes.
The servant who drops tears feel
lnglyat religious services, and drops
dishes unfeelingly in the kitchen,
has her tenderness altogether too
much on one side.
And it is a poor kind of religion
which seeks opportunities to set
others straight, but overlooks its
own clookedneSs.

The impelling force that has made the combination known as the American Cattle Trust, is the ascertained fact that the middle men, the dressed beef men, the Big Four, or by whatever name they may be called, get profit of $15 out of each range steer they buy. The producer to whom four-ffths of this amount belongs, gets noth- ing. The Trust proposes to give the producer at least two-thirds of the Big Four's profit and reyel ill wealth with the remaining two- thirdS-so they say. AS soon as the producer receives $5 per head on his steers over last years prices the Trust will become the most pop ular institution in the range coun- try and Trust certificates will jump at once to par.-Stock Grower.

pers from that territory in the way
 of low rates, but her position pre-
 cludes as favorable rates being se-
 cured as other localities have to the
 markets. She is therefore in the
 present emergency doing what
 should have been done some time
 agO-she is setting about in an in-
 expensive and intelligent way to off
 set her unfavorable position, and
 will make way to market which
 will open up her ranges to northern
 buyers and bring the attention of the maturers in the north to her steers in such manner as to give her grip on the purchasing con- tingent among the cattlemen there, who must have the excellent stock of the southwest. This should be made a territorial affair, as all parts of Arizona will be about equally benefited by the trail. The expense of making a trail is nominal when 1t is shared by all the associations and stockmen. Every dollar. in- vested will return to the investor tenfold. This is the quality of work and effort which cattlemen are look ing for nowadays. They want bet ter returns for their investment. An expenditure of $1,OOO in this mat ter, which the committee estimate will be necessary, will help out the industry there another spring most wonderfully. We believe the cat tlemen of Arizona will stand by the suggestion of the committee of the Tombstone association and contri- bute all the funds needed. It will be winning card.

Lately an attack of measles has been playing sad havoc among the Yumas across the Colorado River and nightly the red glare of the funerol pyre lights up the horizon all around the mountainous chain encircling their reservation. The scent of burning flesh can be sen sibly perceived in the atmosphere by any one in the city who has his olfactories exposed at the time. But with the dead dies every living thing belonging to the deceased. All other property likewise perishes. This obliteration of all earthly posses sions, of course, makes the Yumas the poorest Indian race in America, and always will, unless they are in some way restrained in the exercise of their foolish custom. The be- lief is that this immolation will ap- pease the oWls-the spirits of their dead-who will visit them forever in mournful hootings unless the holocaust is made in all it's hideous forms, without shade or variation from that known to their fathers. How long the fires will burn de- bends on the victims the dread reaper sends in, but let us hope they will soon learn to discard their medicine men and leave the white people an opportunity to save their lives iii case of epidemics.-Yuma Sentinel.

The Gila Cattle Company has, by an intelligent general manager and untiring application brought the handling of their cattle down to a system of such mathematical mi nuteness as to be something little less than marvellous. A striking example of this has just been shown where, by holding their beef steers until six and eight years old, the steers are educated up to such a point of intelligence that train load came into Magdalena on Sun day last, loaded and billed them selves to Kansas City and started through without any one in charge. When last heard from they were at the needles going through to Kan sas City by way of San Francisco and the D. &c R. c. narrow guage, ia order to take advantage of the
 long haul :" No other companyin tAe territory can lay claim 10 such shrewd management and such in teliigent steeTs.-Soeorro Bullion.%

Russell Benedict, a New York at torney, was in the city yesterday. en route to Greer county, whithel he goes to wind up the affairs oi the defunct Francklyn Land and Cattle company.

The Las Vegas Stock Grower says southern Arizona stockmen are inauguratiHg movement for making a trail outlet to northern markets for their cattle. The pro- ject is worthy the attention and support of the cattlemen of that territory. If the plan to make a trail north becomes popular and a trail is laid out and occupied by the Arizona herds it will save the cat tlemen a good many dollars, be- sides putting their steers on an equality with steers from other DOT
 tions of the southwest which seek that market for buyers. It is mat ter of chiefest interest to the stock men of that territory to encourage the opening of trail facilities to Denver, Cheyenne and other mar kets in that country. Arizona now stands at q disadvantage with her neighbors, both as regards the east ern and northern markets for the produce of her ranges. The rail- roads are doing all they can proba-  ply to meet the wants of cattle ship
The St. Johns herald., 1887-05-26

It puzzles the will and confounds
 the understanding of cattlemen here
 to know by what means the Ameri- can Cattle Trust, which organiza- tion is reported in. the papers as
 having gone in with the Big Four, is going to benefit the industry. If this new dressed beef company is to operate at Chicago, it would seem necessary for them to make use of the same methods used by Nelse Morris, Armour ct als., for their own enrichment at the expense of the cattlemen. But further devel- opments will probably enlighten the public on these points. It is reported from an entirely trustwor- thy source that the Big Four have been given rate of seven cents per mile from Chicago to New York on their own refrigerator cars loaded to their full capacity. As the rate to the public is 70 cents per 100 pounds for the same haul, 1t will readily be seen that the Big Four have been enabled to cut out all competition by saving freight, t,which of itself is a sufficient profit in the business. Cattlemen are looking to the establishment of home refrige- rator plants, competitive markets and the use of improved cars by which cattle can be fed and watered en route, in order to take their pro duct direct to the consumers with out having to pass through the Chi cago toll gate, and they view with alarm any combination or alliance which tends to strengthen the pres ent dressed beef ring.-Dallas News

 An exchange says unique cattle trade is reported from the Panhan- dle. A herd of cattle (the number not stated has been transferred in consideration of $30,0O0, the seller to take them back a year hence at the rate of $3 more per head, ,than he sold them for, on the presump- ton the herd still consists of the same number, neither losses nor in crease to count. The only work the buyer will have to do will be to brand the calves this year.

An exchange says Mir. Simpsons

An exchange says Mir. Simpsons Indian contract of 7,850,00O pounds of beef will require 9,563 head of Texas steers of 800 pounds each to fill the same, and D. R. Pants con- tract will require 8,125 head. All these will come directly from Texas and the latter from southern Texas. IL will thus be seen that a market for 17,6S8 Texas steers has been secured.
